Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pallet platform technology, and more specifically, to a 3D printer pallet platform. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the tray platform of current 3D printers usually requires precise control and stable heating during the printing process. However, if adjustments are needed during printing, the existing design often limits the user's flexibility. For example, if the temperature control of the tray platform malfunctions or physical adjustments are required during printing, most printers are designed to require the machine to be shut down and the temperature to drop before these operations can be performed, which is a cumbersome and inflexible process.

[0003] In many existing 3D printer designs, the management and fixing of cables usually rely on traditional methods such as screws, clamps, or tape to bind the cables to the machine. While this method ensures the safety of the cables in terms of stability, it often lacks flexibility. For example, when replacing parts, maintaining the machine, or adjusting the cable layout, users need to spend a lot of time disassembling the fixing devices and releasing the cables.

[0004] Most current 3D printer designs do not take into account the need for quick and easy cable removal. In some demanding scenarios, such as when the equipment needs to be troubleshooted or components need to be replaced urgently, traditional fixing methods can lead to low operational efficiency. In existing designs, wires are usually connected to the printer frame using traditional fixing methods. Removing the fixing requires a lot of manual operation, and these processes often cannot be done in real time. Utility Model Content

[0034] Please see Figures 1-8A 3D printer tray platform includes a body 1. An adjustment assembly is installed inside the body 1. The adjustment assembly includes a first guide rod 2, a tray 3, a first motor 4, a first threaded rod 5, and a heating element 6. The first guide rod 2 is fixedly installed inside the body 1. The tray 3 is slidably connected to the first guide rod 2. The first motor 4 is located at one end of the first guide rod 2. The first threaded rod 5 is connected to the output end of the first motor 4 and is threadedly connected to the tray 3. The heating element 6 is located inside the tray 3. The adjustment assembly is installed on the tray 3. The adjustment assembly includes a wire-clamping tube 7, a moving groove 8, and a moving block 9. The wire-clamping tube 7 is fixedly installed on the tray 3. The moving groove 8 is formed on the wire-clamping tube 7, and the moving block 9 is slidably connected to the moving groove 8.

[0035] The machine body 1 is equipped with two fixing rods 10. The fixing rods 10 are equipped with mounting bases 11, and the mounting bases 11 are equipped with second guide rods 12 and second threaded rods 13.

[0036] The second threaded rod 13 is threadedly connected to a movable seat 14, which is slidably connected to the second guide rod 12. A print head 15 is installed on the movable seat 14, and a second motor 16 is installed at the bottom of one of the mounting seats 11.

[0037] The output end of the second motor 16 is connected to the first drive shaft 17, and one end of the second threaded rod 13 passes through the mounting base 11 to install the second drive shaft 18. A drive belt 19 is provided to drive the first drive shaft 17 and the second drive shaft 18.

[0038] A rotating ring 20 is rotatably connected to the movable block 9, a rotating rod 21 is connected to the rotating ring 20, a rotating block 22 is connected to the rotating rod 21, and a stabilizing rod 23 is installed on the rotating block 22.

[0039] Fixing blocks 24 are evenly installed on the cable clamp 7. The fixing blocks 24 are provided with rotating grooves 25, through grooves 26 and fixing holes 27. The fixing holes 27 are adapted to the stabilizing rods 23, the rotating grooves 25 are adapted to the rotating rods 21, and the through grooves 26 are adapted to the rotating blocks 22.

[0040] In this embodiment, during use, when the height of the disc 3 needs to be adjusted during the printing process, the first motor 4 is started, causing the first threaded rod 5 at the output end to rotate. During this rotation, the disc 3 slides along the first guide rod 2, moving it to the appropriate height. Furthermore, when the position of the print head 15 needs to be moved, the second motor 16 is started, causing the first drive shaft 17 at the output end to rotate. As it rotates, the second threaded rod 13 on it, under the action of the drive belt 19, rotates along the mounting base 11 on the fixed rod 10, thereby causing the movable seat 14 on it to rotate along the second guide rod 15. 2. The sliding movement process is performed to move the print head 15 to a suitable position. During use, when it is necessary to release the cable, the moving block 9 slides along the moving groove 8 on the cable clamp tube 7. As it slides, the rotating ring 20, rotating rod 21, rotating block 22, and stabilizing rod 23 on it move. After the stabilizing rod 23 is removed from the fixing hole 27, the rotating ring 20 rotates along the moving block 9. When the position of the rotating block 22 is aligned with the through groove 26 on the fixing block 24, the moving block 9 slides along the moving groove 8. After moving it to the appropriate fixing block 24, the above operation is repeated in reverse to complete the fixing process.

[0041] Please see Figure 7 As an embodiment of a 3D printer tray platform for a wire clamping assembly: a wire clamping assembly is provided on the wire clamping tube 7.

[0043] More specifically, during the movement of the moving block 9, the stabilizing block 28 on it slides along the inner side of the cable clamping tube 7. During its movement, the first spring 29 between the stabilizing block 28 and the cable clamping tube 7 is continuously compressed or stretched, thereby using the second spring 30 and the cable clamping piece 31 to complete the clamping and fixing process of the cable.

[0044] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: When the height of the disc 3 needs to be adjusted during the printing process, the first motor 4 is started, causing the first threaded rod 5 at the output end to rotate. During this rotation, the disc 3 slides along the first guide rod 2, moving it to the appropriate height. Furthermore, when the position of the print head 15 needs to be moved, the second motor 16 is started, causing the first drive shaft 17 at the output end to rotate. As it rotates, the second threaded rod 13 on it, under the action of the drive belt 19, rotates along the mounting base 11 on the fixed rod 10, thereby causing the movable base 14 to rotate along the second... The guide rod 12 slides to move the print head 15 to a suitable position. When it is necessary to release the cable during use, the moving block 9 slides along the moving groove 8 on the cable clamp tube 7. As it slides, it moves the rotating ring 20, rotating rod 21, rotating block 22, and stabilizing rod 23. After the stabilizing rod 23 is removed from the fixing hole 27, the rotating ring 20 rotates along the moving block 9. When the rotating block 22 is aligned with the through groove 26 on the fixing block 24, the moving block 9 slides along the moving groove 8. After moving it to the appropriate fixing block 24, the above operation is repeated in reverse to complete the fixing process.

[0045] During the movement of the moving block 9, the stabilizing block 28 on it slides along the inner side of the cable clamping tube 7. During its movement, the first spring 29 between the stabilizing block 28 and the cable clamping tube 7 is continuously compressed or stretched, thereby using the second spring 30 and the cable clamping piece 31 to complete the clamping and fixing process of the cable.
